It provides a unique combination of intuitive visual design and technical power, so you can make better apps and web experiences for your customers. So in the above design, since you are designing with the mapping of 1 XD unit to 1 iOS point, the artboard dimensions you can give to a developer are 375圆67 points, and the font size would be 10 points. Adobe XD is an intuitive and highly visual design tool that provides a quick way to design for mobile, web, desktop, and social apps. On MacOS/iOS this abstract "unit" is called a Point (see Points vs Pixels, and PaintCode's Ultimate Guide to iPhone Resolutions), which typically matches up with the 1/72 inch definition above (for example, when printing), but not always (displaying on a monitor). And this mapping happens quite frequently, when you render to the screen, or export a bitmap image, or preview the design on your phone. You could rasterize your design to an image where each unit maps to 1, 2, 3, or even more physical pixels. That relationship is the same, no matter what physical size your design is scaled to. Let's say you design an iPhone 6/7 artboard at 375圆67 units, and it uses type with a 10 unit font size.
It's easiest to think of XD as unit-less, kind of like a vector graphic, and focus instead on the relationships between elements. This whole problem of converting design units to a physical size is tricky, and so, at least for now, XD kind of sidesteps it.

Where can I find UI kits, trainings, and other resources?.Does XD give you recommended sizes to design with?.This also extends to text options, layer effects (which XD does not have), image tools, etc. You can make rectangles, lines, arrows, polygon, etc. Take its vector tools for example, which can be shown above. What types of files can you open in Adobe XD? Figma, simply put, has better and more functionalities than Adobe XD.How can I get started with Adobe XD? Is it free?.Here are some questions that will be answered in the webinar, (starting at 35:00): Here are some timings in case you want to skip ahead: Discover how share mode allows you to share your work easily and quickly with stakeholders and developers.
